Kings Of Leon row over marriage
Kings Of Leon live at SXSW 2007
Nathan Followill's proposal sparks worries about the band's future
Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill has proposed to his girlfriend, sparking arguments in the band about the group’s future.
Nathan popped the question to his other half Jessie Baylin during dinner at a restaurant in New York.
Not all his bandmates are thrilled with the news, however. The announcement has sparked doubts in the band about their future.
"If he doesn't get a pre-nuptual agreement, he's an idiot," Nathan's brother and frontman Caleb Followill told the Independent.
"Me and him have a lot invested in each other," he continued. “We started this band. We bought land and houses together. We’ve been best friends since we were little biddy boys. I don't want him to make mistakes.
"We have friends in bands who are married and their songs start being watered down because they’re all about the same girl."
Nathan countered his brother’s comments by saying: "Look at Bono – he’s been married his whole career. It’s different for me than it is for Caleb, I'm pushing 30. It's always hard when big brother starts devoting time to a girl that would normally be devoted to little brother."
